Who wore the first pants? Who painted the first masterpiece? Who
first rode the horse? Who invented soap? This madcap adventure
across ancient history uses everything from modern genetics to
archaeology to uncover the geniuses behind these and other
world-changing innovations. Who invented the wheel? Who told the
first joke? Who drank the first beer? Who was the murderer in the
first murder mystery, who was the first surgeon, who sparked the
first fire--and most critically, who was the first to brave the
slimy, pale oyster? In this book, writer Cody Cassidy digs deep
into the latest research to uncover the untold stories of some of
these incredible innovators (or participants in lucky accidents).
With a sharp sense of humor and boundless enthusiasm for the
wonders of our ancient ancestors, Who Ate the First Oyster?
profiles the perpetrators of the greatest firsts and catastrophes
of prehistory, using the lives of individuals to provide a glimpse
into ancient cultures, show how and why these critical developments
occurred, and educate us on a period of time that until recently
we've known almost nothing about.

The Game of Logic is a recreational activity devised by author
Lewis Carroll - this edition contains all of his original and
vitally demonstrative illustrations. Although Carroll is best known
for his short stories and novels for children, he also harbored a
great passion for mathematics and logic puzzles, which he felt held
great facility for developing the minds of young and old. He
designed a game of logic which attained popularity following his
enormously successful stories for children. Although old fashioned
and dated by today's standards, Carroll's game offers profound
insight into the recreational mathematics and number games of the
late 19th century. This book contains a set of detailed
instructions for playing Carroll's game, which requires sheets of
paper, a ruler and pencil for drawing the tables, and a set of
counters. This edition contains all the diagrams and tables crucial
for understanding what the author describes.
